Ms. Moss paid a total amount equal to the initial payment plus all monthly payments:
- Initial payment: $\(\$ 170\)$
- Monthly payments: 24 payments of $\(\$ 23\)$ each $\(\rightarrow 24 \times 23=552\)$
Total amount paid:
$$
\(170+552=722\)
$$
The cash price of the surfboard was $\(\$ 650\)$. The amount paid in excess of the cash price is:
$$
\(722-650=72\)
$$
Comparison:
Quantity $\(\mathrm{A}=72\)$
Quantity $\(B=71\)$
Since $\(72>71\)$,
Quantity A is greater than Quantity B .
